Jesse on Fire
People are terrified about where AI is going to go and whether or not the AI is going to turn on us and kill us. My opinion, honestly, is I think that's humans projecting humanity onto the AI, because humans are like, well, what if they hurt us and then we go bomb them? Like, which seems psychopathic when you really think about it.
Podcast Host
Foreign.
Guys, we got Jesse on fire out in Vegas. Let's go, baby.
Jesse on Fire
Let's do this.
Podcast Host
Dude, how much did you gamble last night?
Jesse on Fire
Zero, actually. Which is rare for me to be in Vegas and not gamble, but I didn't. I didn't play at all, actually.
Podcast Host
Played it safe.
Jesse on Fire
I played it safe. I was tired, man.
Podcast Host
Yeah, I feel that. Yeah. A lot happening with Epstein, man.
Jesse on Fire
Dude, what do you think? You think if. If you had to bet your life on if someone's leaning on Trump, and that's why, like, I think it's fair to assume now Trump's definitely in the file.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
That Comey and them turned over. But if you had to bet on whether there's something that, like, an entity is actually leaning on Trump about, where they're like, you need to make this go away. Or else you think. You think they got something like that?
Podcast Host
They'd have to be really powerful. But it's. It's possible, right?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, I mean, it's. I mean, it's. Yeah, it's always possible. I think that the. The thing about him, though, is if you look at, like, how he campaigned, the. The best term I ever heard. We're swearing on here.
Podcast Host
Yeah, you can.
Jesse on Fire
Ben Shapiro said that Trump is a mud monster. And he's like. Because anything you throw at him, it just. He just absorbs it. It doesn't matter. So it would have to be something real fucked up.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
You know, it would have to be something real fucked up. That's why I don't think, like, I don't think Trump fucked kids. You know what I mean? So my guess is, if it's anything, it would have been some kind of. Because he was buddies with Epstein back in the day. Like, you know, it seems like good buddies. You look at those clips of them together, they're laughing and, like, looking at chicks and stuff. And if you know for sure that Epstein's entire purpose of interacting with all these people is specifically to entrap them into material that he. He can use against them or whoever's running them can use, it wouldn't be hard, I don't think, to get Trump to say something really stupid into a phone call, you know, if that's. If that's the type of the relationship that they have. And, you know, Epstein made some comment about some girl that he had that's, like, in high school, and then Trump kind of, you know. Oh, you know what I mean? Like, imagine how damaging that would be now if it was a. If authentic call, even if it was 30 years ago and he acknowledged that he, you know, fucked around with, like, a high school girl. And then Trump said something kind of affirming it in any way, like, that's. That's the only thing that I could think of that would make sense.
Podcast Host
Yeah, it'd be hard to think of something, because with Trump, he's so open about everything. This is the first time I've seen him so, like, reserved about anything, honestly. Right.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. They painted themselves into a corner, honestly, if. If. If this thing actually played out the way that I think it did, which is because Maureen Comey is the one who tried the Diddy case, the Ghislaine Maxwell case, and would have tried the Epstein case had he not, you know, died.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
So the file was definitely in her possession. She's James Comey's daughter, which means, I mean, she is an adversary of Trump. There's no. There's no conversation there for sure. And they have the ability to put whatever they want into that file. And so as the new DOJ comes in, they're like, give us everything you have on Epstein. And they're trying to hide it originally, and they keep putting pressure on them. You know, if you're James Comey, you're like, yeah, give him that file and then put whatever you want in it. And then, you know, you potentially have. Have him in a jackpot where if they release it all, it makes him look bad. But the word that just got released or got reported this week was that exactly what happened was Pam Bondi went to Trump, but she's like, your name is in this a lot more than we anticipated. And then, so Trump started saying, like, okay, well, then shut it down. But in that same article, it said that the source that claimed that also said that there's nothing in that. He's not implicated in any wrongdoing. He's just all over the file. And so if their. If their purpose was to get everything they had on Epstein and then just kind of word vomit the entire thing out and just hand it to the public, and it's like, Trump, Trump.
Podcast Host
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Jesse on Fire
Trump. That probably looks bad, but it's a pretty bizarre way to go about it, though. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, you know, you're like, what are you guys talking about? The whole thing's a hoax. Everyone's all, you guys. Literally, you guys brought a bunch of influencers out here, gave them binders, called it Epstein release phase one, and had them go, you know, like, to all of their eyes, which. And the only stuff you had in there was a bunch of stuff everybody already knew. You know, I had a few of.
Podcast Host
Those influencers on the pod. They felt. Well, the ones I talked to at least felt a little bamboozled, I would assume. So they felt like they got played.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. You know, I think my honest opinion about what happened there is. I don't think that Pam Bondi or Trump or those people who are in decision making roles actually understood the culture of people online who have been after Epstein. I don't think they, like, got it.
Podcast Host
Yeah, they underestimated that for sure.
Jesse on Fire
They just didn't understand. So they're like, okay, well, we've got these flight logs. We've got this, we've got this. They got this. And they've never gone on all these forums and looked and seen that. Like, we all know that stuff. You know, we all know. So, like, they thought they're all, here you go, look at these, look at these flight logs. You know, they give us fancy binders. You know, every. Everybody looks at them. We're all cool. Like, we've. We've known about this on Reddit for three years, dude. You know, I think that is probably what happened in that one. And then the other thing that I really don't understand, though, was when Pam Bondi comes out and says that she has 10,000 hours of videos of Epstein with children. That is exactly what she said. And she's like, now we're reviewing them. You have a source that goes to Alex Jones and tells him that they have multiple people inside the FBI who are reviewing all these tapes because they need to watch all of them. 10,000 hours is an endless amount of horrific stuff to watch. And they're watching all of it so that they can compile all of it. And then all of a sudden they're like, yeah, we don't have anything. And actually what she was talking about was just run of the mill, dark web child. And you're like, that's not what you said at all, dude. Like, so I don't know. It. It smells like someone who wasn't thinking this through very well was like, just kill the whole thing, you know? Like, that's. That's how it sounds to me. He's like, maybe Trump just came in and he's like, we got to just kill this whole thing. And then just walked out. And all of them are sitting there looking at each other, you know what I mean? They're like, what? Like, we can't just like, kill the whole thing? He's, I'll take care of it. Then writes this tweet, you know, and he just. You're like, bro, this is a thing where you needed to understand the details before you started trying to put a lid on this. Because now you made it a thousand times worse.
Podcast Host
There seems to be something evil they're hiding, bro. Because I searched for hours on the Internet looking for survivors because I wanted to have some on the pod and I couldn't find anything.
Jesse on Fire
That's the thing that has always blown my mind about this is. Okay, so the Florida case, right? The original one, which should be a dividing line in the like a timeline moment that everyone should take note of and then consider when they're evaluating everyone's behavior on this, which is when Epstein went down for the Florida case, even though he was given a.
Podcast Host
The Trilite from Therasoge is no joke. Medical grade. Red and near infrared light with three frequencies per light. Deep healing, real results and totally portable. It's legit photo biomodulation tech in a flexible on body panel channel. This is the Tri light from Therasolj and it's next level red light therapy. It's got 118 high powered polychromatic lights, each delivering three healing frequencies. Red and near infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers. It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it, sweetheart.
Jesse on Fire
Deal. It's like from that moment forward, if you're associating with him after that, that's a completely different thing. If you're friends with him before that, even if, you know, we find out, okay, well, the guy was a scumbag. It's like, okay, but he didn't have a charge that he had pled guilty to solit, like soliciting sex from a minor. Dude, if. If one of my super close friends did that, you think that I'm just like, hey, bro, hey, age, you get your, you know, get done with your term in jail. Let's go, like, go watch a football game. You know what I mean? Like, even a single count of that, you're like, bro, that's. That's a wrap for us. You know what I mean? So. But in that case, there were 200, and I believe it was either 200 or 250 victims. And it was just a daisy train of these, like, young, kind of 14 to, you know, 13 to like 16, who were bribed by Epstein to bring new girls in. Ghislaine Maxwell would, like, make them feel comfortable. The girls, the new one would always think that the one who brought them there was going to be in the room with them and they were going to be massaging him. And then boom, they just abandoned her there. Like, they just take her, you know, oh, get your shirt off. He just likes it like this. Whatever. Galena and the other one. And they would just leave her there alone with Epstein. And now you have a 14 year old in the same situation that Weinstein would put these grownups in that they couldn't. They couldn't manage. So in that case, where are all those girls? Like, and then, and then, which ones of those are on the island? Like, where are these girls that were on the island? Are they alive? Like, are they. Do you know what I mean? Because, like, the. The island, you have no. I believe at least the purpose of the island is it's in international waters. There's no government there, so there's no laws. That's the other thing that I've thought about. It's like, let's say that you found out that this person did whatever on the island. Like, can they be prosecuted? That happened in the middle of nowhere, like a point. I don't. I honestly don't know. But yeah. Where are the victims? Virginia Giuffre is the only one that everyone knew about, and she, you know.
Podcast Host
Blair White just had one on the pod, but yeah, they seem to be very few and far in between. Yeah, they seem very hard to find.
Jesse on Fire
What. What was the. What. What happened in that conversation?
Podcast Host
I didn't watch the whole thing, but she was just talking about all the things she went through, like getting like, MK Ultra, honestly.
Jesse on Fire
Really?
Podcast Host
Yeah, Some dark stuff is.
Jesse on Fire
And. And this girl was verified to have Been like in these case files, like, it's. They're for sure real.
Podcast Host
I don't know. I don't know. Blair does her research, so I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt on that.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, for sure. You know, it's interesting because I saw there. So Sean Atwood had this girl on who said that she was the niece of Jeffrey Epstein. And I watched some of that one.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And it's possible, like, I just. It was one of those ones where I'm watching. I'm like, really, dude? Like. Because she's, you know, she's talking about satanic cults and Moloch and all that stuff. And that's all very publicly known. If you've kind of dug into this thing. Yeah, I didn't hear anything that was. That was new. And I don't have any way of verifying whether or not she's related to the guy. And at a certain point, like, this stuff is so monstrous that that's. I think that's why it's so hard for people to believe it's like, that really be true.
Podcast Host
Right.
Jesse on Fire
You know?
Podcast Host
Yeah. You never know what's a distraction to these days.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Where they're trying to put your attention towards.
Jesse on Fire
Totally.
Podcast Host
I feel like that's a common tactic.
Jesse on Fire
They're going to have a hard time doing that away from the Epstein case.
Podcast Host
Yeah. It seems like people aren't forgetting this one. Usually with like a breaking news, like, goes away in 24 hours, but this one's not. Yeah, forgotten.
Jesse on Fire
Dude. I have a random question for you related to that. So I've always wondered what people would do if out of nowhere they stopped even pretending to care what we think. You know, like if. Because I always thought like, during COVID when the people would. Like when the people would kind of start to. To make noise. I. I was convinced by everyone's behavior during that period that, like, they would have complied with almost anything. Like, if they just were like, yeah, we're just, you know, hammer down. And so like, on a thing like this, they're like, bottom line, we're never going to talk about this case ever again. No one's ever going to talk about it. It's like, you know, people would make noise and. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I just don't know how much I'm curious how much, like, the population's energy actually matters.
Podcast Host
That's a good question.
Jesse on Fire
Do you know what I mean?
Podcast Host
Yeah, I do. I mean, with social media, it's got to be Amplified these days. Right?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Like, I feel like it's way harder to get away with stuff now.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. Social media, that. And that's the thing that changed everything was when Elon bought X and opened up what you could say on social media, because that was the thing that was so frustrating prior to that was like, you get banned for anything.
Podcast Host
Right.
Jesse on Fire
And that's exactly, like, to your point, if they just decided, you know, whoever is kind of making the phone calls and they tell X, they're like, hey, we're done with this topic. And then they, you know, do whatever they do, and anyone who says Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, it gets D ranked. They're like, I don't know, I'm not getting any views on these. Or your views are completely fake or whatever they're doing to make it just. They could just shut down any conversation. But, you know, I have a. I have a YouTube, like, partner manager.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And he's just like. Yeah. I mean, if. If one platform allows people to. One of the main ones allows people to talk about this, that or the other, the other ones are forced into allowing it also.
Podcast Host
That's true. I feel like YouTube's gotten a lot leaner.
Jesse on Fire
Me. I agree.
Podcast Host
Same with Instagram. And, yeah, TikTok's a weird one.
Jesse on Fire
I. I don't post there anymore. Just like. Because I. They kicked me off the platform.
Podcast Host
Yeah. I just got banned.
Jesse on Fire
Oh, you did? Yeah, I got reinstated and then I was like, you know, they demonetized me and then kicked me off for nothing. Do you remember when Conor McGregor put that video up where it was like, you could kind of tell that his. His girl was, like, giving him a head on the boat, but you can't, like, see anything. I put that up and they banned me and I was like, it's a. It's literally a video of the horizon off of his boat. You just can barely see that. There is, like, a head right there. So I don't know. I disputed it. And that's the one time that they overturned one. But I used to. I got community guidelines videos taken down so many times. I was like, okay, I'm done with this man.
Podcast Host
I was. Before his news got leaked, right?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. Yeah. Do you make it. Do you, like, do you make any money on TikTok?
Podcast Host
Nah, I was making, like, thousand a month. Nothing crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I don't really care about it.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. It was never like a money.
Podcast Host
Yeah. I think YouTube and Instagram and Twitter, if you're in politics.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Like, the most important ones.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. I don't. Yeah, I've. I just focus basically all of my energy on. On YouTube.
Podcast Host
YouTube, yeah. Yeah. That's where the money is. I mean, yeah, shorts I guess are decent, but like the long forms where you're killing. Yeah. Did you post your debate with destiny on your YouTube?
Jesse on Fire
I posted part of it, yeah. Yeah. No, not the, like the whole thing. I, it for me personally, like I wish I could have and had people actually watch it, you know, because it was like. But Yeah, I mean 90 minute videos, there's no one will click on it, no one will watch it and it just hurts my damn. You know, I put the part. Because at the end of that conversation we got into the COVID stuff.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And I was like, oh, he doesn't know anything. You know, like he doesn't, he doesn't see Provax.
But what he was. His, his whole point was he was like, he's like, I'm just. The thing about how he frames things is he goes to the absolute most extreme version of what the right says and then he poses and then he will just like propose that as if that's your opinion. Which is very challenging with me because that's never my opinion. You know what I mean? I ate him on that part because it was like. Anyway. Yeah, because we. I just. So I just got into like what the states actually did. He didn't know anything about it. You know, he didn't know that New York had fired all the healthcare workers.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Jesse on Fire
He didn't even know that.
Podcast Host
That's crazy.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, he was like googling it.
Podcast Host
I hope you guys are enjoying the show. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. It helps the show a lot with the algorithm. Thank you.
Jesse on Fire
You know, and I'm like, yeah, dude, like, are you gonna defend that? You know what I mean?
Podcast Host
That's another thing. When he's debating, he. He's looking stuff up. Right? Yeah, I noticed that.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, he's super smart, dude. Yeah, he's super smart. He's just, you know, I can't tell if he, if he uses like X for rage bait or if he, you know, I like, I'm pretty good at like evaluating people and what they're doing and my, my read on him is that I think that he puts that stuff like that crazy stuff on X because he knows that people are going to respond to it, talk about him and it'll make him trend because you don't ever hear him say that in person. It's like, hey, talk about the flood victims with me. In person guy.
Podcast Host
Right.
Jesse on Fire
You know what I mean? Say something about the dead babies in person with someone across you. Even if it's not me, say it, say it in front of a human. He never does that.
Podcast Host
So, like said they couldn't swim or something. I saw that.
Jesse on Fire
He said a bunch of stuff about.
Podcast Host
The flood and that happens every couple months with them. Something just outrageous. He'll tweet and then it'll be viral everywhere.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, it's. I mean, he doesn't see any, he doesn't see any repercussions from it. You know, it's like, it's not like he, he's like kind of un. Cancelable in his space because like we were just talking about who's the guy who's going to replace him. You have to have a smart left wing person that's going to argue those positions to do these debates. And it's like, who's going to replace him?
Podcast Host
Yeah, they struggle to have people do that, I guess. Right. I don't know what it is about the left, but they just don't have good debaters.
Jesse on Fire
They have some pretty tough positions to, you know, to defend in a lot of cases. The thing that's crazy too about now though is like you have.
You have a lot of alignment between the right and the left and yet they're still arguing with each other.
Podcast Host
Right.
Jesse on Fire
You know, it's like, like a lot of alignment if you look at what I mean. I don't even, I, I never even touch on Palestine and Israel ever. I'm not going to now either. I just will comment on the fact that it seems like there's a lot of alignment on both sides and there is.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
People are still arguing all the time.
Podcast Host
It seems like most of the division right now is on the right because of the Epstein stuff. Honestly.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. Yeah. I can't tell. Like, I just, I think they're just, I think everybody's just mad that they're not getting to see what's coming out. But then since, since that moment where, where they said that, you know, oh, this is all a big hoax and it blew up in their face completely. They were like, oh, this is not gonna work.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
There have been now like stories coming. It's like, oh, Ghislaine Maxwell's testifying and people are like, oh, they're just trying to distract. And it's like, yeah, but like she's talking, you know, I don't know what they're going to do with that information. But I'll tell you this, dude, if they pardon Galaine Maxwell that I'm out. Straight up, dude. Like, I'm out. Because like we were just talking about in the, you know, the. About what they did and how they ran that Daisy trade in Florida. She is a monster. Yeah, she was taking, like sophomores in high school and walking them into a room and. And her role was to make them feel comfortable so that the pedophile in the other room could much more easily molest them without their pushback.
Podcast Host
Crazy.
Jesse on Fire
Pardon. Because. Oh, because she has some information. Like what I said on my channel. I was like, this is simple. If you want her to talk, you don't offer her incentives. You offer her a fucking stick. It's like you're going to tell us what you know. We're going to put you in supermax. You think anybody's going to give a fuck about you if we put you in supermax? What are they going to do? Nothing. No one will have your back. No one will care. So if you don't want that outcome, then you need to talk.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Commute her sentence. Pardon? Why? She's a monster. Would you commute Jeffrey Epstein? Would you pardon Jeffrey Epstein? It's exactly the same thing.
Podcast Host
Who even knows what's been done to her too? Like, she could have had her memories wiped. Like, who knows what sort of technology they have these days?
Jesse on Fire
You know, if you. I mean, I wish I knew, like, how the MK Ultra stuff actually worked. You know, it seems like, I mean, a lot of.
Podcast Host
Yeah. A lot of theories around it with celebrities and politicians being programmed.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. I mean, you know that obviously if you're a social media platform and you want to control the opinions of celebrities, that's easy because you control their feed.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
You know, all. If you. I mean, if you start showing people nothing but dead children in Palestine, what do you think their opinion is going to be? Or if you start showing them nothing but black people getting constantly beat up by police, what do you think their opinion is? Or if you start showing them nothing but black people beating up white people, what do you think their opinion is going to be? So. So you can very easily affect anyone's opinion if you target them specifically. Most people are on an algorithm where it's like it kind of gives you what they think that you want. But if it's someone that you want and you're going to target them and these social media, they know exactly who's looking.
Podcast Host
That's such a good point. Because if most feeds are promoting a lot of negativity, Right.
Jesse on Fire
Oh, yeah.
Podcast Host
Whether it's violence or, like, conspiracy theories or whatever. Like, it's just negative information.
Jesse on Fire
It's what you. It's what you interact with. It's as simple as that. It's like, it's. What do they interact with it? So if someone went on and just as a test, only interacted with videos of cats chasing birds, that's all they're going to show it. If you think about, like, what you're, you know, what you're most likely to respond to, at least for me, it's. I see something that makes me mad, you know?
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Instantly, it's like, that's what I'm saying. That's. That's exactly my point with the destiny thing. It's like, if he says, we need to check. I remember the one that he. That he's. Where he's like. He said the thing about. He's like, did anyone check whether any of those girls that died in the flood were pregnant? Because we need to get the. We need to get the death count right? And I immediately went on my channel and did a video where I was like, hey, this guy fantasizes about children, in case you guys forgot about that. It's just like tit for tat, dude. You want to talk about dead kids? I'll talk about the kids that you talked about. You know what I mean?
Podcast Host
That was nuts. I just finished Gavin Newsom's episode with Stephen Bartlett. Did you see that one?
Jesse on Fire
No.
Podcast Host
Diary of a CEO. That's a good podcast. But, yeah, Newsom looks like he's gonna make a run in 28.
Jesse on Fire
He's probably gonna win.
Podcast Host
You think he'll win?
Jesse on Fire
I mean, I hope not. I hope not. But he's. He is the only one. He's the only politician that I've seen that.
He understands the new game. Do you know what I mean? Like, it's not complicated. Honestly, if you looked at how Kamala Harris ran her, her. Her campaign, and you're like Jennifer Lopez on a stage. Oh, you know, Obiance. Do you not understand the world that you live in now? Social media killed that, you guys, that doesn't work anymore. You need people to actually like you. You know, if you're funny and you can share good ideas, people will feel like, oh, okay, maybe I can trust that guy. The, like, faceless, you know, big balloon head celebrity thing that doesn't work anymore. Gavin recognizes that. And now he's on. He's on X doing memes of Trump and Epstein, like, you know, AI videos that are making fun of it. It's like you never saw politicians do that before. He's going on Sean Ryan, he's going on all these. Rogan's smart enough to know what he's doing, and Rogan doesn't want him to get elected. He's like, you, you're not coming on my show. You know what I mean? At least thus far. I would expect him to not give him a platform because he knows exactly what he is, you know?
Podcast Host
Yeah, he turned down Netanyahu. I saw that. So I wouldn't be surprised if he turned down Newsom, too.
Jesse on Fire
I saw Netanyahu's son say something about that. He's like, oh, well, you know, if he had him on, all the anti Semitic information that Rogan has shared on his show would now be wasted. I'm like, that's.
Podcast Host
Yeah, Rogan's like the most neutral host of all time.
Jesse on Fire
That's what I'm saying.
Podcast Host
Like, he has on Bernie Sanders and then he'll have on, like, Donald Trump.
Jesse on Fire
Trump, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Podcast Host
How are you going to attack him for that?
Jesse on Fire
Well, they attack him because he platform. I mean, that's the big thing with the left is like, you're gonna give that guy a platform. That's like, they. They would always, you know, they would call into these. These concerts where there's gonna be conservatives putting on something. They're like, we need to shut it down. Or like, at the colleges, we gotta shut that down. It's like, don't give them a platform. And, you know, the problem is that the neutral podcasters are like, okay, but that person's not an extremist. I'm gonna have a conversation with them. And then, you know, you can't, like, you can't pretend that a person is an extremist if they're not, you know, for most people. Most people are like, yeah, no, I've watched him. He's definitely not that.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
You know.
Podcast Host
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the anti Semitic label because I see the host they attach that to, and most of them aren't actually that, in my opinion.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, I agree. They're talking. I mean, they're talking about a nation state. I don't talk about Israel because I don't want issues with monetization. Yeah, not even that. Just they got a lot of power men, you know, I already know.
Podcast Host
Like, that's why I say politics in Austin. It's pretty blue there, right?
Jesse on Fire
So the majority of, like, the podcasters that are kind of in our niche are, I think, kind of like me, which is, I consider Myself, independent. Like, there's, you know, I voted for Obama twice and then I ended up basically being know, building my entire, like, my. Everything I was talking about politically going into 2024 was all Trump. Like, because it was just like.
I don't know if, if you were a free thinking, independent person and Covid did not turn you. Absolutely. Like, I, I wouldn't vote for these people if I was related to them. You know, if they were in my family, I would have voted against. Against them.
Podcast Host
I mean, her own family did, I think.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, yeah. I mean, well, I know Tim Waltz is Tim Walls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they just are going to. I think that there's a world where in 10 years, a lot of people, you know, are like, I think that there's going to be like a reset politically. I think that. I think Trump basically broke the entire system. Yeah. Which is probably a very, very good thing. You know, I'm really curious to see what, what Bongino was referencing, though, the other day with that tweet.
Podcast Host
I was super cryptic, right? Yeah, I've seen. What was it like? I've seen so much stuff that's.
Jesse on Fire
I'll never be the same.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
It's changed me forever.
Podcast Host
I wonder if that's related to Epstein or if that's just something else.
Jesse on Fire
Dude, it could be what, what Candace is covering. Like, you know. You know, Candace is doing Pizza Gate. That's what she's doing.
Podcast Host
Really?
Jesse on Fire
Like with the Brigitte Macron thing.
Podcast Host
That's where she's going to Pizza Gate.
Jesse on Fire
That's where she's going, wow, elite. Elite pedophile rings that run the world. That's Pizza Gate is.
Podcast Host
Yeah. She just got served a lawsuit from a crown. Right.
Jesse on Fire
Dumbest thing they could have ever done, International law. Absolutely dumbest thing they could have possibly done because it puts eyes on her. And if you watch her, it's exactly the same thing. It's like they're like, oh, yeah, she's talking all this crazy nonsense. You watch once. You're like, oh, damn. This is. This is the opposite of crazy. I don't know why anybody fucks around with Candace, dude, she'll eat him. Dude.
Podcast Host
She doesn't back down.
Jesse on Fire
She'll eat him. Suing Candace. Did you, like, I watched her last night and she was talking about it and you could just tell, like, her. She had a smile. Like, she is so excited that they sued her. She absolutely loves it. She loves it.
Podcast Host
It's crazy. That story got Trump involved, too. Yeah, Trump gave her a call.
Jesse on Fire
Dude, how bananas is That I was telling my mom about that last night. It's like McCrone is in there. I think it was a Ukraine peace deal. And he. He's like, well, we're not going to do this unless you get Candace Owens to stop talking about brief. It's like. It's like. Like cartoon world, dude.
Podcast Host
The power of alternative media, man.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, absolutely.
Podcast Host
Podcasts have that poll now.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. Yeah.
Podcast Host
Do you think we're living in a simulation?
Jesse on Fire
I do, actually. Well, I mean, who knows, dude?
Podcast Host
Everything feels so scripted, right?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, it's not. Well, not. Not necessarily scripted. I think that. Have you ever. Have you ever used VR headsets?
Podcast Host
Yeah, I've used Oculus.
Jesse on Fire
Okay. So the first time that I. That I put on a VR headset is when I started very seriously considering simulation theory. Just because it's like, if you can have all of your senses fully immersed right now by putting some device. So you're essentially just putting a television over your head, and you think about where things are going currently, where you got neuralink, you already know they're trying to put the computer inside of your brain. You have super intelligence over here. You have AI that's going to basically be able to build anything digital at a speed that is unfathomable to us now. You know, you have thousands of people working on these systems, and it takes them years to build them. They'll be able to build it in, like, six minutes, you know, very. You know, like, not even in that near or that distant future.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And a lot of people are terrified about where AI is going to go and whether or not the AI is going to turn on us and kill us. My opinion, honestly, is I think that's humans projecting humanity onto the AI, because humans are like, well, what if they hurt us and then we go bomb them? Like, which seems psychopathic when you really think about it. So if AI is not that, and AI does work symbiotically with humanity.
What I believe about where VR comes into this is like, the thing about virtual reality is that, you know, you're inside the virtual reality, and it's like, at a certain point, we're gonna be like, well, what if. What if you could be in there and you didn't know? You know, because the next thing to solve for is like, the Touched right now, you have sound and vision. Then they'll solve for touch. And then it's going to be like, well, what if you could not realize you're in a simulation or a. A virtual reality thing? And then also, life is very short. 80, 80 or I think the average lifespan is like 75 years for men in the United States. That's crazy short. Well, what if you could also condense time so you can go into a simulation where you could experience 80 years in what is actually an hour. Whoa. And at that point, you don't need to 3D print new organs for people. You don't need to maintain people's organs forever. You just need to have them. Just hook them up and you can live forever.
Podcast Host
Nuts.
Jesse on Fire
Live forever. You know.
Podcast Host
Crap.
Jesse on Fire
And my theory on that also has to do with like, so, you know the near death experience thing.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Where people all. Not all, but many people report a tunnel and then their loved ones, a younger version of their young ones, and they're like, hey, it's not your time. So my hypothesis on what that could be is a program to ease you out of the experience that you've been in for 75 to 80 years. Because imagine how jarring it would be if you just lived 80 years and on the other side, you're this other person, you know, and you come out and it's just like, you know, like a way that they ease you up, but then those people end up back alive so they don't go through the entire process. If I. I mean, who knows about what the nature of reality is? But if I had to bet on it, that's kind of where my brain goes. Because think, like, think about, like, VR AI and all of that. In a thousand years, you think they won't be able to do that?
Podcast Host
Can't even comprehend that.
Jesse on Fire
Exactly.
Podcast Host
It's advancing so fast, I don't even even think it'll take a thousand.
Jesse on Fire
Oh, I don't either. I just said a thousand. It's like, of course we'll be able to do all that stuff.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
You know.
Podcast Host
Would you ever get a neuralink?
Jesse on Fire
It depends. I'll let someone else get it first.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Facts, you know, I'll let someone else get it first and then tell me, someone I trust, and then be like, okay, what's it like? And if they're like, oh, my God, it's.
Podcast Host
Well, a guy that's paralyzed that has it, seems like he's loving it. Have you seen that?
Jesse on Fire
No. Tell me about it. So there are people who have them in, and I haven't actually looked at it. Tell me.
Podcast Host
Yeah, so one guy's in a wheelchair, but he has it. And he can use his thoughts to play chess, play, like video games. It's nuts, dude.
Jesse on Fire
Man, that is wild.
Podcast Host
Yeah. It's crazy. Like he can't move his arms, but he can use his thoughts to like actually play games and everything. There's videos of him playing chess, I believe.
Jesse on Fire
See, that's exactly what I'm talking about. You, you combine those technologies in a not so distant future. Maybe you put them in a simulation and they don't realize it. And then there was a movie about condensing time like that that I watched. It was like this, it was kind of like a low budget science fiction movie, but it was where if so that you can be put in prison and not actually lose your life, right? So it's like you get a 10 year sentence and they would drop this stuff in your eye and they would do 10 years in prison when actually what was like 30 seconds.
Podcast Host
Whoa.
Jesse on Fire
So it was like the punishment. And inside of the experience, they were just in this box that had a clock and they just sat there in this box looking and just waiting for 10 minutes. Or, and also, have you seen, have you seen the, the Black Mirror episode, White Christmas?
Podcast Host
Which one was that?
Jesse on Fire
It's the one where they're inside a simulation and the guy is, he's trying to extract information from this guy where he buried these bodies or whatever. But like he's telling his story and they create a digital clone of a person's brain and they put them inside of this device. And the device is supposed to like, make everything much easier for the real person. So the real person has no idea that there is another clone version of themself inside of this thing being forced into slavery. And they have to like, you know, like work all these gears to like set up their appointments and do all of this stuff. But the way that he gets the, the clone mind to do it is he can just press this button and make them experience an astronomical amount of time by themselves in that room. So they're like, are you sure you're not going to do it? They're like, no. All right, let's see how you feel about it in three weeks. And then so the person just sits there in this white room for three weeks. And then when he comes back, then he makes it six months and then it's like boom. And then he gives him a thousand years and they've just, you know, they just lose their mind.
Podcast Host
It's like crazy, right?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Holy crap. That's trippy, bro.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
So if you believe in simulation theory, would that rule out believing in aliens for you?
Jesse on Fire
No, not at all. I.
The alien thing, I just have no idea. I, I.
The, the, the cases that are Credible to me, are so credible that I don't know what to do, but I don't know what they are, you know? Do you know about the Phoenix Lights?
Podcast Host
No.
Jesse on Fire
So In March of 1997, the. It was. I believe there was a comet that was going over Phoenix that night. And so everybody was outside looking up at the stars and starting, like, soon as it was kind of, like, dark or whatever. They're over the. Over the Scottsdale and Phoenix Basin. This craft that was a mile wide, according to everybody. They're like, you can't. You can't fathom how big this thing was. It was like a triangle flew over it, dead silent. The biggest thing they've ever seen. It was flying super slow, like, too slow to be propelled by, you know, fuel or anything. Every single person. There was 10,000 witnesses. Every single one of them, without fail, said it's impossible that humans built this thing, including Fife Symington, who was the governor and was also in the Air Force. And so. And he's like. He's like, humans didn't build this. Whatever this thing was, it's like the most credible, you know?
Podcast Host
10,000.
Jesse on Fire
10,000.
Podcast Host
Because I get skeptical when it's, like, one or two people.
Jesse on Fire
Exactly.
Podcast Host
10,000 is nuts.
Jesse on Fire
Yep. And the military ones are also.
Good if it's. If it doesn't seem to be an obvious, like, psyop, you know. So, like, there's one in the Rendlesham Forest that happened in the 80s, and it was at a. One of our nuclear weapon sites. And there's so many reports of UFO interaction with our nuclear weapon sites.
Podcast Host
I heard that.
Jesse on Fire
And this one in particular happened over multiple nights where they had UFOs hovering over, like, over the. I guess. What do you, like, where they have all the ICBMs. And then there was something in the forest. And these guys. These guys went out there kind of to see what was going on. And there was multiple nights, multiple experiences. Super credible guys. One of them is a colonel responsible for guarding our nuclear weapons. Like, who's more credible than that? And I've seen him talk about it. I've seen the other guys talk about it. And there were three guys who came up on a craft that was on the floor or on the ground, like, hovering above the ground. And they. They walked around it for 45 minutes. They wrote down these, like, symbols that were on it. And then after 45 minutes, they said that it just went. And then. And, like, the guy. It's hard for the guy to even talk about it. Wigged him out. So much, but that one I believe. And then the Travis Walton story is the one. You seen the movie Fire in the Sky? You know what that is?
Podcast Host
Heard of it?
Jesse on Fire
I think it's the one abduction story that I believe, you know, that I just.
Podcast Host
I think I heard of this.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Because the abductions. One's hard for me. I don't. I mean, it could totally be true. But to your point, one person telling you that they got it, it's always hard that it's like, okay, well, this person could be crazy or trying to get attention or whatever. But the Travis Walton story, there were seven lumberjacks also in Arizona.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And they were leaving their. Their work site for the night, and they drive by and they saw this gigantic flying saucer that was down in the forest. And this dude, Travis Walton, who's crazy, he's 23 years old or something, jumps out of the car, starts sprinting towards this. This flying saucer. All of his people are like, get back in the car. And they said that, like, there was like, a flash of light and he went flying across the forest, like a hundred yards. They said, he's dead for sure.
Podcast Host
Jeez.
Jesse on Fire
And they took off. Then they spazzed out and kind of all came back. All of them have passed a hundred lie detectors on this. They come back and he's gone. So he shows back up in the town, like, four or five days later, and what he said had happened was he woke up and he was on. On board this craft, and they were like. He said they were, like, creatures that were, like, working on him. He was on Rogan. He. I watched him tell this entire story on Rogan, and I'm like, all these guys pass lie detector tests. He seems to be telling the truth. It's. I don't know. That's the one. That's the one abduction story. And. And if that one's true, the reason they would have taken him on board is they fixed him. Like, they would have accidentally hurt him and then taken him on board, fixed him, and then dropped him back off. So, like, I don't know what that would indicate. Maybe they're from the future and they're not allowed to interact with us, so they don't, you know, mess up the timelines or. Who knows? I have no idea what they are, but I do believe some of those are. Are real. And I don't even know what to make of what it actually is.
Podcast Host
Seven people passing lie detector tests, like.
Jesse on Fire
A bunch of lie detector tests over. Over decades, this happened. I mean, he's like when he was on Rogan, he's like 70 or something happened when he's 23. They've lie. Detected these guys a million times. They've always passed.
Podcast Host
I don't see a reason for seven random lumberjacks to lie about it.
Jesse on Fire
Certainly not for this long. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah.
Podcast Host
Damn. That's crazy.
Jesse on Fire
You should look that one up. Look up the Travis Walton Rogan and watch it. And it's like. It's wild.
Podcast Host
Dude, I need to see that one for sure. Yeah. I always wondered if they're from the. Just us from the future or if they're from different planets.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Who knows?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. Because they. And the other thing that. That they seem to report consistently is that they can feel that they're communicating with them with their minds, like. Yeah. And. And that's what he. He reported that as well, that he said that he could feel them trying to calm him down because he freaked out and he, like, jumped off and I don't know. It's the. I'll let you watch the whole thing. But that would make sense, though. I mean, they have these tiny little mouths, these huge eyes, because if they communicate telepathically, why would they need mouths? And if they have a small mouth, that sounds like evolution hasn't taken the mouth all the way. Very likely could have been us in the future. Who knows?
Podcast Host
That's nuts. Let's end off with some UFC MMA stuff.
Jesse on Fire
Let's do it.
Podcast Host
One of my guests, Colby Covington.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Is it true he wanted to see you at one point?
Jesse on Fire
I don't. I don't think so.
Podcast Host
Okay.
Jesse on Fire
I am totally unaware of that. If that's true.
Podcast Host
You piss him off or something?
Jesse on Fire
No, I said that I did videos because I didn't believe that him and Masal's beef was real.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
You know, and, yeah, he definitely doesn't want to sue me now. Cuz, like, Ch. Chill Senate is my boy. And after Colby's last fight, I sent a message to Colby, like. Cuz Ch. Like Chill was cornering him.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
So, like, me and Colby are definitely cool now. I don't even know if we weren't cool ever, but we're definitely cool now. But, yeah, I. I just didn't buy it, dude. They were be. They're bet. They're best friends. Friends, like inseparable closest friends in the world. And when that beef started, they were. It was right when Colby started doing the act, you know?
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And I mean, I. I compiled all these clips where I'm like, look, dude, he was trying to do the act, and they kept on asking him about. They're like, you just talked all this about Mos. Isn't he your best friend? And he's like, yeah, he's my best friend, but I could. I could say what I want. And I just. I. I was like, I guarantee you, after that interview, they went to each other. He's like, this is not going to work. Like, I. I can't be this guy and also have this, like, screw, super close best friend. He's like, we gotta do a beef. And. But who knows? I mean, like, when they ended up fighting, I went to that. I went to that fight.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Still 100, convinced that they were still best friends. And I don't know, it was just.
Podcast Host
Like, even after the restaurant fight, they got in.
Jesse on Fire
So that. This was before that. Oh, this was before this was right before that.
The restaurant fight. I have theories on that. I can't talk about. But I'm still. I'm still 50. As soon as Colby retires, I'm gonna start asking people questions, dude. Because I know they won't tell me while he's still active, but, you know, I'm still not convinced most of the.
Podcast Host
Beefs are fake, if we're being honest.
Jesse on Fire
I mean, that one would be the most masterfully executed fake beef ever, if it's fake. But there's, like a. You know, there's like a court case and everything with the. With him punching him. I think it's real, though. It has to be real legal. Yeah. That's what I was saying, like, is. Once he punched him, I still didn't believe it. I was like, this is some kind of. But I think at this point, like, there was a. You know, he took a charge, and I'm sure it's real.
Podcast Host
I've had them both on, like, separately, and I. I didn't ask them about it because I didn't know they would.
Jesse on Fire
Have told you that. It's.
Podcast Host
I try to bring legal stuff in episodes.
Jesse on Fire
Oh, it was after. It was after that.
Podcast Host
Yeah. It was recently. A few months ago. I don't know if they settled yet or something.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. I can't remember. I don't know if they. I don't know what happened financially, but I know. I think George's got pled down to, like, a misdemeanor or something.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
I'm not 100. Sure, but.
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I've heard Colby is, like, super nice off camera.
Podcast Host
The nicest guy.
Jesse on Fire
Everybody says that.
Podcast Host
The nicest.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Yeah. It's one of those things, as a fighter, you got to brand yourself, so. I get it.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Business point of view.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
The only real beef I, I remember is Jones and Cormier.
Jesse on Fire
Oh, they hate each other for sure.
Podcast Host
They still do. Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
That is a. But that. Honestly, that is a. I'm convinced that is like two guys who only know how to be champions in the division at the same time. It's. They're going to. They're going to have problems. They're in different gyms. If those two guys were different weight classes in the same gym, they'd be the best. They'd be best friends.
Podcast Host
You think so?
Jesse on Fire
I really do. I think that that would probably be good for Jon Jones's life too, because Cormier would be a good influence on his decision making, you know.
Podcast Host
You excited about these White House fights they're talking about?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. I would love if they would put, if they would actually put Jon Jones in that fight, you know? Yeah, I, I completely understand Dana's position, though. The White House. The White House event. They can't have any problems. They can't have anybody kind of wash out. And if you think about how many times that's happened with Jones, Jones is the greatest fighter of all time. He ran through everybody at light heavyweight, you know, at heavy. I, I mean, I still am confused why he retired all of a sudden. I think it was probably because of that case that happened right afterwards. But I said at the time, I'm like, I bet you he'll still come back. But it's. It's hard to risk, even. Even though him versus Aspinall is obviously the biggest fight you could possibly put on.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
And with the US government paying for it, you could pay them whatever. You know what I mean? They literally could pay them whatever. There's no. You don't have to worry about the pay per view sales. The government's going to pay for it. They can, you know, make a deal.
Podcast Host
That less than millions each, probably put.
Jesse on Fire
On whatever show you want. But. But the one thing you can't risk is the main event doesn't happen, you know, and you have to get like a, A backup or whatever. But I, I hope that they do. If they let Jon Jones fight. Obviously. It's so weird that you have Tom Aspinall fighting Cyril Gone for the heavyweight title, where you're like, really, like, that's, that's the best they got after Jon Jones.
Podcast Host
Easy win for him, right, Osal, if he wrestles.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just, they showed Cyril gone Getting rag dolled by Imamov the other day, who's an 85er.
Podcast Host
Yeah, that's gonna be an easy fight for him, I think. So you've been watching Power Slap too, or. No.
I noticed a lot of the true fighters don't like Power Slap.
Jesse on Fire
I just. I mean, the thing is, when you actually watch it, it's not as bad as if you just. Because, like, when you. When you just watch the highlights, because they always put the people just getting stretched on there. And I was like, man, I don't like that, dude. Even when I'm watching a UFC fight, obviously when someone gets flatlined like that, you go crazy. But at the same time, you're like, at least if you know anything about fighting, you're, like, concerned for them. You know, where it's like you go nuts, and then you look. Especially if you go. Do you go to shows live a lot?
Podcast Host
I go to ufc, yeah.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. So, you know, like, the. The part they don't show you on television is how up the guy is after the fight. Like, guys that get finished are so up, and they never show that on television. And.
Yeah, so I don't know when I see guys, you know, do especially that, like that one where their body folds in half and then they fall just like, you know, or their arms are out. I'm like, gosh. And they're. Because the nature of it, that they're not defending themselves. But again, when you actually watch power stuff, they don't get. They don't always get knockouts. So it makes it not quite as bad as I originally thought, but I just. I don't watch it personally.
Podcast Host
What about bare knuckle? Like, what. What's your favorite thing to watch right now? I guess UFC still always. Because there's a lot talk how they're losing their superstars right now. It's a new era.
Jesse on Fire
I. I feel like. I feel like the UFC doesn't want superstars anymore. Not like Conor level, the Jones level, the Nate level. Because.
Once these guys are that big and they're that rich, it's impossible to get them to fight.
Podcast Host
True.
Jesse on Fire
You know what I mean? It's because, like, the motivation where people are always taking fights is they need the money, right? And even if the. Even if you're paying guys a million dollars a fight. Million dollars. Pay your team, pay your taxes, all of that stuff, that's not like, put your feet up money. Start paying guys 8, 9, 10, $12 million. Every fight, dude. And they fight twice in a year. Guy makes. Guy makes $18 million that year. And then they do that for two years. And you call them, you're like, hey, they're like, I don't know, man. You know, I don't know. And Conor, way more money. He spends much more money. But also, what, I mean, you haven't seen him since seven years, right? Yeah.
Podcast Host
Yeah. That's an interesting take.
Jesse on Fire
Or last time he fought with 21.
Podcast Host
21?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. He fought in January and July of 21. Yeah.
Podcast Host
Is that when he broke his leg or was that. Yeah, that's a tough injury.
Jesse on Fire
He's 37, dude.
Podcast Host
Holy.
Jesse on Fire
Isn't that nuts? Like, it's his 37th birthday. And I'm like, man, he said, I, I, I'm sure that he has business interests that are fine for him, you know, where he'll be fine either way. But yeah, for fight fans, it's unfortunate.
Podcast Host
He's good. Yeah. He sold his liquor company, I believe.
Jesse on Fire
For nine figures, 100. And I think I heard that he made personally like 183, if it's pretty exact number. Like, I'm pretty sure. I think they sold it for 400. And his end was 183. You could spend that money, though, dude. That's like 183 million if you, I mean, at least what it appears like he spends. You know how he spends money. I mean, you could spend that money for sure. But I think he's got other money coming in. This whole thing with the, with that Nikita hand case, though, that crushed him. All of his sponsors pulled, you know, because proper 12, I'm. I mean, I don't know the exact figures, but they were for sure still paying him seven figures a month minimum. Pulled.
Podcast Host
Damn.
Jesse on Fire
All of his sponsors, all from that.
Podcast Host
Nude that got leaked.
Jesse on Fire
No, no, no, no. For the case in Ireland.
Podcast Host
Oh, wow.
Jesse on Fire
Which I don't believe, for the record, I don't think it's. I don't think that he did it. The.
The, Basically, in any case where there's footage that would either confirm or deny the two conflicting stories, if one side wants to play the footage and the other side is filing injunctions to block it, the person who's filing the injunctions is lying. And that's exactly what she's doing. It's like in. So in her story, in her story, this, this, this thing that Connor did was brutal. Like, really gnarly and brutal. And she has injuries, which is why everybody, you know, initially believed it. But then you're like, okay, well, what did she do after that? And I mean, per everyone, she stayed at this hotel, Connor left. This is all on camera. Connor left the hotel. She stayed there for another six, six hours partying with. With Connor's friend and supposedly went up and had sex with Connor's friend. Also, the entire time that she's there, she's. She's coked out of her mind, and she's texting her. Her guy at the time sending these paragraphs of just lies upon lies upon lies upon lies. And you're like, what credibility does she have? And then when Connor wanted to show the security footage of her afterwards at the place hanging on guys kissing on their neck for hours and hours and hours, they wouldn't allow him to play it.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Jesse on Fire
And they. And then they filed an injunction where he couldn't play it publicly. And I'm like, dude, she's lying, dude.
Podcast Host
So nuts.
Jesse on Fire
Who would. Who. You know, it's like circumstantial, but human behavior, certain things are like, that's not circumstantial. No one would do that. If this guy beat you up and you. There is no way that you're all, well, what am I going to do next? You're all, I'm going to just stay here. And he left. And you're just going to stay there and party for six hours, like, and be hanging all over and dancing. Come on, dude.
Podcast Host
Yeah, it's just nuts how they weaponize this again. Men, right? Russell brand from 25 years ago.
Jesse on Fire
That one I don't. I definitely don't believe.
Podcast Host
25 years ago.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. I mean, listen, if people. If a guy does that, you should bury him under the jail. But, yeah, I mean, Conor wanted to run for president of Ireland, dude. You know, like, that's. I'm sure nobody over there wants him to be president. And also, because she had the injuries, and I have no idea where she got the injuries. That's the only. That's the only part that I can't kind of reconcile. But the. The injuries that could have come from somewhere else. The behavior. Give me a break, dude. Yeah, you know, yeah, the Russell Brand one is gnarly, especially if, you know, like, the origin of that was a group of, you know, leftist journalists reading his book and then starting to call all these girls crap from inside the book and then cultivating this story, you know, where they. And I can't remember exactly, I went. But they, like, they, like, tricked these girls. Like, they told this, like, oh, did he ever choke you? You know, did he ever do whatever? Like, just kind of. That kind of stuff. And they're like, well, you know, that all these other girls are saying that he choked them and it was against their will. Whatever. Got one to say that, you know, say this because she thought that there was a bunch of people saying it. And then they go back to the other ones and, no, we got this one saying this, and it was like, that's nuts. And do you really. I mean, do you believe Russell Brand would do that?
Podcast Host
I don't think so, man. I've met him, so I might be biased, but it's just fish to me how it's so long ago, and, like, would that have happened if he wasn't.
Jesse on Fire
Successful and talking about the things he's talking about?
Podcast Host
You know what I mean?
Jesse on Fire
So I'm saying, dude, certain topics.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Jesse on Fire
You know, I don't talk about a.
Podcast Host
Common theme with all these people that get hit with this scrape charge. It's like Andrew Tate, Russell Brand, Connor.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
You know?
Jesse on Fire
Yeah. Well, luckily, I've been married for 17 years. They're gonna have to go way back if they want to try to find somebody. Like, pretend that I did that I.
Podcast Host
Did it with Russell, though, man. You gotta.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
You might as well text your exes now.
Jesse on Fire
Well, luckily, I've never done that, so, you know, they would have to. They would just have to completely fabricate it, like, out of left field, but, you know. Yeah.
Podcast Host
Better safe than sorry, man.
Jesse on Fire
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Geez.
Jesse on Fire
I'm on good terms with everybody, dude. I've never had, like. There are no girls that I've had that I'm on bad terms with, you know?
Podcast Host
Yeah, well, the Tate one was crazy because they exposed. One of them got paid 100 grand. Do you see that?
Jesse on Fire
No. Oh, I read the head. Tell me about it.
Podcast Host
Yeah. So she got paid 100 grand to, like, make these allegations about him, basically. And they tracked the money and, like, found evidence of it. Crazy, right?
Jesse on Fire
And they put him in Romanian prison.
Podcast Host
Yeah. That's no joke.
Jesse on Fire
These guys don't play, man. That's what I'm saying. That's. That's why there are certain things. I'm like, look, I'm all for say what you say what you think, but there are certain things, like, dude, why.
Podcast Host
Put your family involved? You know? I'm the same way for sure. Yeah. Well, Jesse, it's been cool, man. Can't wait to do more with you in the future. We're.
Jesse on Fire
Can people find you Jesse on Fire on YouTube and then on X and Instagram? Real Jesse on Fire is my handle. TikTok. I'm there, but I don't post there.

Host: Sean Kelly
Guest: Jesse on Fire
In this thought-provoking episode, Sean Kelly welcomes Jesse on Fire to discuss everything from the shadowy mysteries of the Epstein files, government cover-ups, the manipulation of online narratives, simulation theory, and even alien encounters. The conversation swerves between gritty political controversy and speculative philosophy with the unfiltered candor that Digital Social Hour is known for.
Both Jesse and Sean address the ongoing public obsession with the Epstein case, Trump's role, and the suspicious mechanisms of cover-up and distraction at high levels of power.
On Trump's Connection:
Jesse speculates on potential leverage against Trump, stating:
"If it's anything, it would have been some kind of...you know if Epstein made some comment about a girl that he had that's, like, in high school, and then Trump kind of...imagine how damaging that would be now if it was an...authentic call, even if it was 30 years ago..." (02:13)
Jesse critiques the release of "Epstein files," suggesting officials underestimated the informed online culture who “already knew everything.”
"They thought they're all, here you go, look at these flight logs...We've known about this on Reddit for three years, dude." (05:18)
On Victims and Obfuscation:
Sean highlights the bizarre lack of accessible survivor stories:
"I searched for hours on the internet looking for survivors because I wanted to have some on the pod and I couldn't find anything." (07:11)
Jesse questions the absence of victims:
"Where are these girls that were on the island? Are they alive? Do you know what I mean?" (09:13)
Jesse and Sean dissect the ways those in power manage public attention and the role of social media platforms in controlling narratives.
Algorithms and Perception:
"You can very easily affect anyone's opinion if you target them...If you start showing people nothing but dead children in Palestine, what do you think their opinion is going to be?" (19:48)
Censorship Trends:
"Yeah, I got reinstated and then I was like, you know, they demonetized me and then kicked me off for nothing." – Jesse (13:30)
The episode analyzes the evolution of political debate, the increasing power of podcasts, and the controversies of "platforming" contentious figures.
The Platform Dilemma:
"They attack him [Rogan] because he platform...that's the big thing with the left is like, you're gonna give that guy a platform." (23:10)
Politicians Adapting to New Media:
"He's the only politician that I've seen that understands the new game…If you're funny and you can share good ideas, people will feel like, oh, okay, maybe I can trust that guy." (21:43)
The episode’s central philosophical exploration: are we living in a programmed reality?
> "I do actually [think we live in a simulation]. The first time that I put on a VR headset is when I started very seriously considering simulation theory." (26:46, 26:58)
He connects advancing AI and VR with philosophical questions of consciousness and time:
"What if you could...experience 80 years in what is actually an hour? And at that point, you don't need to 3D print new organs...You just need to have them...just hook them up and you can live forever." (29:11)
On Near-Death Experiences as 'program-level’ transitions:
"My hypothesis...is a program to ease you out of the experience that you've been in for 75 to 80 years." (29:19)
Cautious Tech Optimism:
"It depends. I'll let someone else get it first." (30:22)
The conversation turns to classic UFO cases, with Jesse voicing belief in their credibility.
The Phoenix Lights:
Travis Walton Abduction:
"That's the one abduction story that I believe...All these guys pass lie detector tests...they've always passed." (35:37–37:25)
The last segment lightens the mood with spirited takes on MMA’s staged beefs, fighter branding, and changes in the sport.
On Colby Covington and Masvidal “Beef”:
"They're best friends...I guarantee you, after that interview, they went to each other...‘We gotta do a beef.’" (39:24)
On Superstars and UFC’s Evolving Business Model:
Power Slap and Fighter Safety:
On power and manipulation:
"If their purpose was to get everything they had on Epstein and then just kind of word vomit the entire thing out and just hand it to the public...Trump, Trump, Trump, that probably looks bad, but it's a pretty bizarre way to go about it..." – Jesse (04:46)
On the resilience of independent media:
"The power of alternative media, man…Podcasts have that poll now." – Podcast Host (26:39)
Simulation theory, condensed time:
"You could experience 80 years in what is actually an hour...You can live forever." – Jesse (29:11)
On VR, time, and reality’s fragility:
"Have you seen the Black Mirror episode, White Christmas? ...They create a digital clone...and he can just press this button and make them experience an astronomical amount of time by themselves..." – Jesse (31:47)
Regarding AI’s threat to humanity:
“I think that’s humans projecting humanity onto the AI, because humans are like, well, what if they hurt us and then we go bomb them? Like, which seems psychopathic when you really think about it.” – Jesse (00:41, 27:41)
This wide-ranging conversation between Sean Kelly and Jesse on Fire offers an unflinching look at today’s conspiracy-laden cultural climate while weaving in speculative future visions and real-world sport.
